Sonya Deville (real name Daria Berenato) doesn’t know if wrestling is over for her yet following her departure from WWE.
Deville’s time with WWE recently came to an end, as the company informed her that they would not be renewing her contract. Deville was with the company for ten years, and she held the WWE Women’s Tag Team Championship.
Speaking on Made It Out, Sonya Deville was asked about her future.
“I was sighed at I think 21, and I’m 31, and we just parted ways a week ago,” she said. “So it’s crazy, and I’m still processing it. So I don’t have all the answers yet. 10 of the coolest years of my life. I got to grow up in that world, and a lot of my ideologies and mentalities were shaped by that company, which were cool because it gave me more of a work ethic than I even had, seeing all kinds of things with my friends. I had some of the best times ever. I’ve been to like 50 countries, wrestled everywhere. It was so fun. But I’ve always known that there was gonna be different chapters of my life, and I have so many dreams.
“Acting was my first love, and so I want to nourish that and feed that. Ironically, the week I parted ways with WWE, I simultaneously booked my first big movie project, so that’s not happenstance. I had done a good amount of auditions throughout the year, and nothing worked out like we wanted. To have the first big one hit the same week, it’s not irony. I think it’s just really a testament to what my next path is. There’s so many things. I’d be lying if I said I was just sitting at home the last two weeks. I obviously am upset, and there’s some things I’m going to miss, but at the end of the day, I’m a hustler, and I have two kids and a wife to take care of. So I have been working my butt off since the moment I got the phone call. I don’t know if wrestling’s over for me yet, so that’s something that I’m figuring out right now, and I’m giving myself the time to really decide what the next moves are. But we have some really fun things in the works.
Sonya Deville On Her Mindset
Deville went on to comment on her mindset, and she emphasized that she didn’t have any anger or regrt. She stated that she was excited for the future.
“I’m very much in the mentality that nothing happens to you, it happens for you,” Sonya Deville said. “So I don’t have an ounce of anger, regret. Even the sadness, the sadness is just missing the moments. But the sadness isn’t like, ‘Oh my god, I want to be back there right this second.’ It truly isn’t.
“I’m so at peace with what’s happening because I’m such a strong believer in the universe. Whatever the powers that be are, I’m a believer because I know that everything’s gonna be okay, and I know that there’s bigger things out there for me. Whatever a great 10-year foundation laid, and what a great first chapter of my adulthood. I’ve collected more knowledge, wisdom, and life experience than I could anywhere else. So yeah, I’m excited.”
